INDIANAPOLIS, Ind– February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, and the Marion County Public Health Department wants to encourage children to begin healthy habits by age one.

The health department’s dental services program is offering special children-only hours at five dental clinic sites this month. During the visit, children ages 1 to 18 will receive free preventative services, including a dental exam, cleaning, two bitewing x-rays, and a fluoride treatment (age permitting).

Services at these children-only clinics are available by appointment or on a walk-in basis depending on the location. Contact a specific location directly to make an appointment.
